Hi all,
Screw politics. There has always been a bigger war in the background. The casualties number to the million and it does’t look like it’s going to slow down. Hence, my guide to surviving… YOUR WOMAN.
Ok, you got the chick, she’s great but you have to learn to keep her happy. Here are some typical issues that crop up. p.s. I’ll be doing this occasionally so don’t expect a bloody list now!
Shoes - A woman can never have enough. Never. Don’t try to argue. Just don’t. You can’t stop her buying shoes. You can however, regulate the frequency that she buys. You can utilize the guilt scenario, or the opportunity cost scenario. For example.
“Sweetie, do you think I should get this pair of patent black heeled peep toe Aldo shoes?”
Safe yet effective responses are
“Umm, didn’t you like just buy a pair two days ago?”
“If you get these, what about the handbag that you’re saving for?”
“Hmm, not sure, how about the other color * (ensure that color stated is out of stock or not available)?”
“How’s that credit card debt coming along?”
There ya go. The last one in super risky as it might keep you dry for a week. But, it keeps the shoe buying habit to a minimal for at least 1.5 weeks. So it’s pretty much up to you.
Nic… out.

hmm, how true this one. i dont even enjoy shopping yet i shoes is one of my rare indulgences.
personal opinion, i think opportunity cost works better.
immi on March 11, 2008
oops. typo.
*yet shoes is
hehe. sorry.

I’ll just shake my head and walk away.
If she’s buying it with her own $$, I’m not gonna say anything.
Besides, I’m quite safe – pantang for a guy to buy shoes for a girl else she run away. Yay for whoever made up that superstition!

Actually, the guilt scenario works very well on people who loves shoes and clothes *ahemz* Somehow the bf is quite smart so I always end up not splurging.
Also, maybe it doesn’t apply to all girls but whenever my bf offers to buy something real expensive so I don’t need to spend my own cash, I end up feeling damn bad and not buy coz I will not allow him to splurge on my behalf. Only works when it’s not a special occasion

Woe is the man who dares stop me from buying shoes and clothes.
I usually put on a really pathetic face and he’d buy me the item.
Then again, I earn below RM2k.
NicT on March 19, 2008
i shall not tell you what to say to a man to get him to buy you shoes. i will not betray my brothers!

“Buy, or no sex / head for 2 weeks”
